Hellebores are one of the first plants to flower in the year, bringing winter and early spring colour when the garden is still resting. Their elegant, nodding flowers and evergreen foliage create a calm, woodland feel perfect for shaded borders.
Popular varieties include Helleborus Niger with pure white flowers, Helleborus Orientalis in a wide range of tones and Helleborus Double Ellen types for showy layered blooms.
Hellebores thrive in shade or dappled light and prefer rich, moist soil. They are hardy, long lived and very low maintenance.
These shade lovers pair beautifully with Ferns,
Hosta,
Brunnera,
Heuchera
and
Epimedium.
